First we do a last run thru the market for coffee, sandwiches and 3 liters of diet Pepsi. Then we walk thru the Marienplatz and make our way to the Hertz counter. Luckily it is easy and the car rental is as well. So we have a blue Volvo and Steve makes his way back to the apartment on Reichenstrasse to pick up our bags.
It is a beautiful day and we easily make our way to the autobahn. Even without phone service we are easily able to navigate. The drive is amazing. The Alps are right before our eyes! We stop to eat our sandwiches at a small pull out with picnic tables. It's perfect and quick and we are back on our way.
Our b&b, Lippergutl, is not too hard to find but no one is home. So we explore a bit, driving through Fussen and Schwangau. Discover our b&b which is such a cool place. We meet our hosts. Colin is British. The house has several levels and parts of it date to medieval times.
We are settled so head to church in Schwangau which has a 6:30 pm mass. The chuch, St Georg, is very small and the mass is all in German of course, but luckily it is a short mass. We are the only tourists. Most people are elderly and look like residents.
We walk across the street to have dinner at the Schwangau Brewhaus. The northeastern view is lovely looking at the alps and the two castles that light up as the sky darkens. We sit with a nice couple from Germany and Singapore. They make recommendations for us. We have the house beer, a deer goulash, and a schnitzel allgau. Food is fine but not stellar. We end with a Kaiserschmarn and are now stuffed and ready to go to bed.
